Pez MP3 Player

Now  here's a really cool idea, a Pez MP3 Player.  Apparently this guy must have built himself one, thought it was neat and wanted to share it.  But having concerns about Pez coming after him, he did something really smart and got their permission.  He's now gearing up to produce them.  Me want.  You buy.

Kleptography

Yesterday I unlinked ruscam - Russ Cambell's PhotoBlog from my blogroll.  I don't know Russ but did enjoy his photography.  Unfortunately Russ has had to cut way back/quit photoblogging.  So I've now replaced Russ with chromasia - David J. Nightingale's PhotoBlog.  We'll see how that works out while I hunt for more photoblogs to add.  When I find the time I want to rework PolarBlog's blogroll to make it so I can break it into topical sections.  This will allow me to categorize my blogroll into nice little compartments.  But with that project on hiatus while I slowly work on MyClient (Hydra), that change is likely a ways off.

My real purpose here was to direct you to Kleptography, an absolutely amazing collection of professional photographs by Don Ellis.  Please go enjoy them but before you do, I suggest you read his introduction first.  There's some really beautiful pictures there.  I only wish he had a photoblog…

Charred Meat & Beer

I think all of my 100,000 (or was it 3?) readers know I don't eat meat anymore.  But for those of you who do still enjoy scarfing down charred flesh, you might want to have a beer with it.  Like I had to tell you that.  But at least now you can justify having a second round.  After all, you can never be too safe!

Life after 100

One of my long-term goals in life is to live to 100.  I don't mean a hooked to a respirator and feeding tube 100, but a happy and healthy until I pass peacefully in my sleep 100.  Now those that knew me before about the mid-90's I know what you're thinking.  Trust me, my life now is far different now.  Heck, there was a time when even I seriously doubted I'd see 21.  But that has now all long since past.

I've been pretty much of a fitness nut since about the mid-90's and started taking my cycling more seriously.  The past few years have seen that wain a bit, but mostly because of my growing family commitments.  There's only so much time in a day after all.  But hopefully there are a lot of days left and that at some point I'll have more free time to do the things I want.  But my goal of reaching 100 might just be too conservative now that I've learned of a woman in Brazil who is 125!  Sign me up.
